What aspect of an investigation report is considered sensitive information?

Witness identities and statements are considered sensitive information in an investigation report because they can expose individuals to potential retaliation or harassment, especially in cases involving arson or other criminal activity. Protecting the privacy of witnesses encourages more individuals to come forward with information, knowing that their identities will not be disclosed publicly. This aspect is crucial in maintaining the confidentiality of the investigation and ensuring the safety of those who provide valuable testimony.

In contrast, aspects such as fire suppression methods, fire location history, and recent changes in building codes are generally not considered sensitive. These elements usually serve to inform the investigation and offer insights into safety practices or code compliance, rather than compromising personal safety or privacy.
